Parallel Existence II V15

Velgrynd was not underestimating the primordialdemons. Even if their strength was not as great as hers, she could still benefit from their help. They could be of great help to Velgrynd when she challenged her sister, Velzard.

In fact, Velgrynd had been taken by surprise just now. If this had happened during a battle with her sister, Velgrynd’s defeat would have been decisive. As proof of this, Testarossa and the others’ attack had succeeded in ruining Velgrynd’s ‘Split Body.’ Of course, she would recover in time. However, as Carrera had said, it was a painstaking task for Velgrynd to break Ultima’s poison curse. So Velgrynd released the damaged ‘Split Body’ and created a new one. In this way, she made all her damage disappear.

Such usage was the essence of ‘Parallel Existence.’ No matter how powerful the killer move was, it was meaningless in the face of Velgrynd’s power. However, this Skill was not all-powerful either. There were some restrictions on its use.

The biggest restriction was that for every ‘Split Body’ created, 10 percent of the maximum amount of magicules would be used as collateral. This was not a consumption, but a maintenance cost. The term ‘collateral’ was employed since she would get the magicules back once the ‘Split Body’ was erased. However, it was also an irrefutable fact that there was a limit to the number of ‘Split Bodies’ that could be created. The maximum number of ‘Split Bodies’ that Velgrynd could produce was ten. However, if Velgrynd created ten of them, the amount of magicules she had left would be zero, and her fighting ability would be reduced.

Velgrynd believed it would be more efficient to keep at least 50 percent of her magicules, since they could be shared with any ‘Split Body.’ Therefore, she kept the number of split bodies to three or four at most.

There was one more limitation. It was the damage done to the Split Body. If the body was erased without issue, the full 10 percent of magicules would be returned. However, if the body was damaged, the amount of magicule returned would be proportionally less. This was the strategy that Rimuru had envisioned, and in a sense, it was correct.

In this case, her magicules were depleted by five percent. Incidentally, Gravity Collapse, the nuclear magic that Carrera finally activated with all her might, had consumed less than one percent of Velgrynd’s magicules. That was how enormous the amount of magicules in a True Dragon was.

Thus, Velgrynd was not completely immortal, even if she appeared invincible at first glance. Physical damage was pointless, but if you slowly depleted her energy, you would eventually be able to knock her down sooner or later.
